TL;DR: It is considered that the mental health and psychosocial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic may be particularly serious for at least four groups of people: those who have been directly or indirectly in contact with the virus; those who are already vulnerable to biological orPsychosocial stressors (including people affected by mental health problems); health professionals; and even people who are following the news through numerous media channels.
806 citations
TL;DR: Although physical isolation and lockdown represent essential public health measures for containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, they are a serious threat for mental health and well-being of the general population.
220 citations
TL;DR: The impacts of COVID-19 on mental health in Sweden are comparable to impacts shown in previous studies in Italy and China, and seem to impose most on the mental health of those already burdened with the impacts of mental health problems.
111 citations
TL;DR: The psychological supprot for medical staff fighting in the COVID-19 pandemic may be needed, as about a quarter of medical staff experienced psychological problems during the pandemic of CO VID-19.
93 citations
79 citations
TL;DR: Psychological and sleep problems increased during interpersonal isolation due to COVID-19, and current psychological interventions are far from sufficient.
69 citations
TL;DR: The results presented here are likely to underestimate the true impact of the mitigation strategies on YLL, and highlight the need for public health models to expand their scope in order to provide better estimates of the risks and benefits of mitigation.
64 citations
TL;DR: There should be no substantial differences in the provision of health care for COVID-19 between persons with pre-existing mental health disorders and the ones without previous disorders, and the organization of the health care should reflect that.
61 citations
TL;DR: The term “social distancing” has been widely used with the aim to encourage the general population to physically distance themselves from others in order to reduce the spread of the virus, but can have unintended but detrimental effects.
50 citations
TL;DR: Higher prevalence rates were found in the MHPP when compared with the MHGP for all psychiatric and substance use disorders assessed except for dysthymia and current isolated psychotic syndrome.
41 citations
TL;DR: The data suggest that NLR may be a valuable, reproducible, easily accessible, and cost-effective strategy to determine suicide risk in MDD.
TL;DR: This study synthesizes at a fine spatial resolution the intra-network functional connectivity of the DMN in adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders, capitalizing on powerful meta-analytic tools provided by activation likelihood estimation.
TL;DR: Entry into the CNS of ketone bodies and fatty acids, as a result of nutritional ketosis, has effects on the astrocytic glutamate–glutamine cycle, glutamate synthase activity, and on the function of vesicular glutamate transporters, EAAT, Na+, K+-ATPase, Kir4.1, aquaporin-4, Cx34 and KATP channels, as well as on astrogliosis.
TL;DR: It is uncertain whether EEG-NF reduces suicidal thoughts, PTSD symptoms, medication use, or improves function, and although all studies showed promising results, further studies are needed to increase the certainty of evidence.
TL;DR: The trajectory of symptoms identified to precede and possibly predict onset of an ED may inform early intervention strategies within the community and inform how best to target prodromal stages of EDs.
TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that combining clozapine with paliperidone palmitate in patients with TRS and other psychotic disorders could be effective and safe, suggesting further research with randomized controlled trials of augmentation strategies for clozAPine nonresponder patients.
TL;DR: ML algorithms combined with EMR capture early life ASD risk as well as reveal previously unknown features to be associated with ASD-risk, which may enhance the ability for accurate and efficient early detection of ASD in large populations of children.
TL;DR: Functional connectivity analyses on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, collected before and after a course of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), suggest subdivisions of SCC involved in top-down emotion regulation may be more involved in cognitive interventions, while BA25 may beMore informative for interventions targeting bottom-up processing.
TL;DR: Assessing personality and burnout levels could help in identifying mental health professionals at higher risk of developing stigma, and specifically, for subjects with lower emotional stability lower levels of personal accomplishment were associated with higher levels of stigma.
TL;DR: The legal implications for psychiatry of the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed and a novel situation in which psychiatric patients may experience diminution of their statutory protections is reported.
TL;DR: The present study has confirmed the importance of addressing self-stigma in SMI and ASD patients enrolled in psychiatric rehabilitation and the effectiveness of psychiatric rehabilitation on self-Stigma and the potential mediating effects of changes in self- stigma on treatment outcomes should be further investigated.
TL;DR: Women with SMI were consistently more at risk than the general population counterpart, even at younger age, according to the 10-year CV risk score.
TL;DR: It is indicated that cannabis use is not generally associated with neurocognitive functioning in patients with FEP, however, the deleterious effect of low doses of cannabis in some patients is highlighted.

TL;DR: In schizophrenia, better levels of insight may cause self-depreciation and, possibly, other depressive symptoms, and person-centered and narrative psychotherapeutic approaches may be particularly fit to improve patient insight without dampening self-esteem.
TL;DR: Factors associated with suicidal ideation are distinct from those that govern the transition to suicidal behavior, and lend support to the hypothesis that behavioral disinhibition might act as a catalyst in the translation of suicidal thoughts into action.
TL;DR: It is shown that schizophrenia-related hospitalizations follow a seasonal pattern in both men and women, and the distribution of peaks might be influenced by photoperiod changes which trigger worsening of symptoms and lead to exacerbations in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Findings strengthen the notion that ASD symptoms may have a relevant impact on different aspects of the disease, crucial to the life of people with schizophrenia.
TL;DR: A consistent and temporally stable inverse relationship between population density and suicide was found in the male, but not female, population, suggesting men may be more vulnerable to adverse social and economic factors associated with lower population density.

TL;DR: There exists a significant association between maternal antenatalxiety and economic conditions and early evaluation of socioeconomic status of pregnant women and their families in order to identify disadvantaged situations might reduce the prevalence of antenatal anxiety and its direct and indirect costs.
